PROMISED PROSPERITY WAVE Another week has passed In what promises to be the greatest era of In dustrial activity and progress that this country ever ban known. Ail Indications continue to point to the one conclusion, that all records of production and seiu In* are to tie surpassed within tdie next I few months, anu ay a very auhstantliii percentage This week films the fur. nace' Interests more firmly Intrenches than ever In their position, and more settled In their determination not to let go of their produc.a until prices more attractive to the producer are reached. One Important southern Interest has withdrawn from the pi* Iron market, for any delivery, either this year or next, while other Interests, although they hnve not taken quite such a radios! stand, are not making any effort to sell ma terial at present prices, and are rathor pleased than otherwise when an occa sional report Is heard of some sales for nearby delivery being made at current prices, ss It removes Just that amount of competition from the expected good times In the near future. This attitude Is seen all through the Iron and steel trade, and Is confirmatory of the optl. mlstlc predictions which wise onus have been making for weeks. Heavy business hgk been the rule of the past week. In almost svorythlng, and this Is partlou lsrty true with respect to Jobbers In Iron and steel. These Interests are enjoy ing an era of prosf>ertty whtoh Is run ning at high tide. and\ their profits, both present and prospective, nre most grat ifying to them. The higher prices whloh have prevailed for aome weeks have not had the effect of curtailing purchasea, but the effect would seetn to have been otherwise, for, the sales books of the various companies show thut August business was exceedingly heavy, and that September has started out nt a pare which hlds fair to throw the rec ord of August, large ns It Is.

Turner In the Memphis Com mercial-Appeal. With the close of the week It became mors evident than at any previous time that the controlling Influence In the making of prices would no longer he whether rain is Indicated for Texas ano the Atlantic* or whether dry weather is to rule there, but whether at current prices spinners will buy ootton. At the moment th prepondenrance of evidence Is that they will do so. In fact that they have already begun and the last prices on Friday reflecting the demand were the highest of to* week and In spots about th e bust of the season, as for in stance the Memphis middling quotation U 12 7-16 cents, which Is higher than when October contracts sold In New York at 17.85. Speculatively when the government's report was issued the abars or the OX York cotton exchange set themselves to task of preventing an advance and forcing as soon as possible a decline. In part they were successful during Thursday and most of the cession ot Friday until demand from splners came In and and continued and now since UVerpool on Saturday was given up to buying for consumers It would seem that the work of keeping down the mar ket Is Herculean. If It does not actual ly transcend the powers of uny set of professional traders. The welt adver tised bear campaign undertaken for the philanthropic purpose of preventing the Southern farmer breaking his neck sel ling ootton above 12 cents seems thus about to come to an untimely demise even In the house of Its fathers. Out of this wo shall know more artor the markets have resumed on Tuesday, if then It ti developed that the cotton users of the world ar 8 coiu-rned about the supply of cotton and willing to buy at 12140 before prices advance or will ing to buy at J3o atter that price of the tr.g to buy at 130 after that prices Is reached, then there need be little fear ot the coming movement of new cotton to market which tms been tha fly In the ,'V'S ointment and, to elwnge the me taphor, the thing that stuck in the craw of the butstder who would like to fce a bull. As has often been pointed out. In this column the cotton market even more than the Individual Is a creature of sentiment and precedent, and hence could not get away from the fact that the markets of the past have declined with the swelling of the movement dur ing autumn months. It its season Is different, us there I* a probability that It will be, tbon something else In the way of a record In cotton will he es tablished. The future Is therefore fraught with pnsslllllltles of an unusual nut ura. * Its Effect Abroad. It war almost a foregone conclusion that the government's report of 63. 1 would with the foreign trade stir up alarm. Abroad tney look moro rifnn dently to the government's figures on condition and acreage ns a guide to tha crop than in America. To the tcuro pean 11 Is the last word on tbs subject, an impartial judgment and a summary ot tha best Information obtainable. Thus whatever discount Is allowed for the numorous prlvnte reports, the official figures are accepted at practically face value. Manchester was the first mar ket give the alarm,-hut my Saturday demand was In full swing from cont inental centers, and the low-priced cot ton In the Liverpool slock was being freely bought in the absence of Import ant offerings from America, where the movement has not yet, despite the r* ported early opening of cotton, assumed Important proportions. The consump tion of cotton In Manchester the coming season will ho large if the price does riot advance to a point to curtail It. The mill of the continent are experiencing a revival In trade and American cotton spinners and goods manutnc.urers are already out of the woods, and have set before them the prospect or a year oi prosperity. It Is a por tlmo to have the supply of cotton cut dowrf. A factor of some consequence aside irom the indicated small yield for the coming crop was the large consumption given for the past year. Hester placing It at 1* 116.000 bales, which la BOO.Otni hales more than the record, which bits heretofore been but a little above 13,. 500,000 bales, even when the crop \vu -11,500 000. Such an Increase In the use of cotton had hardly been suspected by the mills themselves, ns the competi tion 1n the purchase of supplies was ndl felt with the abundant oftortngs devel oped from a crop of 15.536.000; but now, with she prospect less than 11,600,000 bales, the outlook Is serious for the man who <laUe* with fate and waits till the last to get hie cotton. All the facts In the case, therefore, warrant spinners buying now, the only tppoalng possibility being that the heavy selling of the early pickings will depress prices a hnif-oent or so. This possi bility will nr doubt look too small to many to be worth the chance of risking, as on the other Itaml prices may advance much more than they are likely to de cline. . The government’s report with the spec, ulators has had the effect of banlahlng the prloe bears or those who admitted that the crop wa* very short, but though that- 13*40 discounted all th* less. , Crop Continues to Deteriorate. To the very bullish. It may be said, however, that aa prices advance the motive for continued free buying wttb spinners will decrease. The spmer is h w ise man and will not become a party to any action that will advance price* before he has secured his supply. As prices shoot up rapidly from time to lime Is may 'ttt*r*f,>re be expected that spinners will withdraw from the market and not reappear until tispre I* a decline Those who p-edlcl 15 cent cotton may h* right In the end but the road to Ar oady Is not entirely free of stones ano obstacles of a considerable nature wilt be met no doubt rather frequently.

COHEN. The announcement of the engage ment of Mins Duncan, of Macon, and Mr. Rodney Cohen, of thin city, ban been the occasion of much pleasant press oomraent. The Macon Tele graph says of the event: Mr. and Mrs. George Duncan an nounce the engagement of their (laugh ter, Anne Tracy, tji Mr. Rodney Sneed Cohen, of Augusta, Oa., the wedding to take place on the Bth of December, at Christ church. The announcement of Miss Dun can’s engagement to Mr. Cohen will be received with much pleasurable Interest by a large circle of fricncls throughout the Southern states, as well as North, where both have visited and have many friends. The prominence qf the two families, as well as the popularity of the couple, combino to make their marriage a notably Interesting one, and the wed ding will be one of the most brilliant social events of the winter In Macon. Miss Duncar., 1 who is a brilliant beauty is. with her mother, spending the summer at »\Vnrra Springs, Va., where she Is quite a belle. They will probably return to Ma con about the first of October. Mr. Cohen Is one of the best known and most popular young men in Au- ! gustn, and Is to be congratulated on winning such a bride. The Costltution says: Mr. and Mrs. George Duncan, of Macon, Ga., announce the engagement of their daughter, Anpe Tracy, to Mr. Rodney Sneed Cohen, of Augusta, the marriage to take place in Christ’s church, Macon, December 8. No two young people In Georgia’s social life are beter known and more popular, and both represent families of social prominence and distinction. Miss Duncan is the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Duncan, and is as strog in character and lovable in na ture as she Is bright and beautiful. She made her debut two years ago, after a year's travel and study abroad, and at once won tho attention and ad miration which conio to the society belle. Not only in Macon, Atlanta ami Augusta, where she frequently vis ited, has Miss Duncan been admired, but at the Virginia resorts she has made social conquest. Mr. Cohen Is the only son of Mr. and Mrs. C. Henry Cohen, of Augusta. His j father Is one of the most prominent lawyers In the state and one of Augus ta's leading citizens, while his mother, was the beautiful Nora Sneed, daugh ter of the late Perclval Sneed, who represented one of Georgia’s oldest and most aristocratic families of Rev olutionary distinction. Mr. Cohen Is associated with his father in the practice of the law. and has already made a record which places him among the foremost of the young practitioners at the Georgia bar. The Atlanta Journal says: Mr. and Mrs. George Duncan an nounce the engagement of their daugh ter, Anne Tracy, nnd Mr, Rodney Sneed Cohen, of Augusta, the marriage to take place December 8, at Christ Episcopal church In Macon. The wedding will be a brilliant event, as Miss Duncan has been a belle since her debut two years ago, and is almost aa well known here, where she hns often been the guest of Mrs. John Little, as In Macon. She hns also been a feted visitor In Au gusta. where she will be cordially wel comed as a bride. Personally, she Is unusually attractive, with a lovely pi quant face nnd a manner equally u»t loss began but a few day* before the 25th and since no change has occurr ed In weather sine* that date it u a reasonable assumption that the crop has continued to crawfish and is now in a worse state than officially reported. Many private returns confirm this as sumption so that there is no consolation for bears in the after events. September weather may, however, prove very favor ! able.. Since he growing season has tteetJ unfavorable it would not be unreason able to expect something better with tnb autumn. Good weather henceforth ano a late frost srwtild allow of the early harvesting of the crop, and the picking of everything in the tleids and the fuh development of unmatured bolls, all oi which would appreciably increase the to tal amount of cotton. On the point of future weather, however, oae supposi tion is as good as another* THE AUGUSTA TTTTRAT/D charming and winning. Mr. Cohen is a cousin of Mr. John S. Cohen and la i one of the niost prominent young at torneys of the Georgia bar. From both his father and hia moth er, who was formerly Mlsa Louise Sneed, one of the handsomest women in tho south, he has inherited the niental gifts which have placed him at the head of his profession, as well as those of a social nature which have made him universally popular in club dom and society. —Friends of Master Bailey Gray will regret to learn that he is quite sick at his home on Campbell street. —Mrs. Fannie Dugas Maxwell and Miss Fannie Dugas have joined Miss 11.

NEW YORK.—The promise made to the newspaper men was faithfully car. rled out when the bulletin went out from Arden on Sunday night last, of relapse and consequent danger. Ev ery part of the commercial and finan cial world had, since that announce ment, been under the shadow of ap prehension and fear for the life of the great leader. The vast machinery of commerce and finance completed each day its enormous measure of accom plishment, but no community was free from some effect of an anxiety that extended throughout the business world, not alone In America, but in Europe and East and West. Here in the United States the loss falls heaviest because here the monu ments of vast and successful endeavor are planted and will continue to bene fit the generation, and because the work was not finished here, in that many hundreds of millionß would have boon expended by Mr. H&rriman. had he lived, to the effectual and very great further upbuilding of America’s permanent prosperity. The working out of the country’s railroad progress was practically in his hands. The millions which he could and would have commanded will be diminished, and the genius which he would have displayed in constructive and benefi cial progress, cannot -be duplicated.— J. S. Bache & Cq. MARKET WILL WAIT ON DEVELOPMENTS Period of Dullness Will Likely Follow After the Excitement Over Harri man’s Death. NEW YORK.—It is not unlikely that the period of dullness which accom panied tur. Harriman’s illness ‘ will, after the first burst of excitement, be come even more protracted until some clear idea becomes possible of the new railroad situation that is to de velop. The violent fluctuations of a few weeks ago were artificial; the strength and activity In the market were largely the result of profession al manipulation. The market seems to have overdiscounted trade and In dustrial improvement and must wait for these departments of our activi ties to catch up and adjust itself ac cordingly. The iron and steel industry has un deniably made active and practical recovery from the recent period of depression, but even In this most spectacular instance the conservative members of the trade are beginning to advise caution and moderation as a definite future policy. The great dry goods trade of the country has reached a state of bal ! anee, awaiting Indication whether ihe progress already made has been too ! fast or whether an additional advance ! shall be attempted, in this ami other j important trades the point has been reached where the retailers are about to show whejher the preparations | made in their bcha'f hv the distribu | tors have or have not been overdone. Mn other words, a disposition towards j conservatism is becoming manifest all along the line, which is certainly | subject to none but a favorable inter'- jpretatlon.—Henry Clews. $27.50 Velvet Art $99 RH Squares iJ>x4idJ $30.00 Velvet Art OQ Squares m4UiUU THE WEATHER FORECAST TILL 8 P.
